Read the label. Some lidocaine cream formulations may last longer than others. The length of pain relief also depends on your intrinsic severity of injury (you may have an abscess that needs to be drained, or a deep cut that needs to be sutured, etc.) and your intrinsic rate of healing (pain from a skin burn may only last for minutes to hours whereas lidocaine cream also wears off in the same time frame.
Local anesthetic cream takes about 30-40 minutes to be effective and wears of in 2-4 hours
